<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 6361317, member: 101855&quot;]Here are three Lincoln campaign items. </p><p><br /></p><p>This piece was from his 1860 presidential campaign. The die sinker didn&#039;t get his name right and called him &quot;Abram. Lincoln.&quot; It was said that the mistake came from an early biography which had the wrong name in the title. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse with the all seeing eye was from the the Hartfort, Connecticut marching club, which was one of Lincoln&#039;s most ardent supporters. The obverse design is fairly common. It was used with three other reverses. When it is paired with the &quot;all seeing eye&quot; reverse, it&#039;s rare. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1251848[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Honest old Abe&quot; was used as a slogan in the 1864 campaign. This piece is somewhat scarce. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1251849[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a Lincoln / Johnson ferrotype from the 1864 campaign. The obverse looks like encased postage because the same tools and patents were in play. This piece is somewhat scarce. Forrotypes were photos that were printed on thin sheets of iron. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1251850[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
